I am profoundly aware of how social factors impact one’s health and the health of a community. The reality is their are many the disparities that exist in our society, including access to good healthcare, equal educational opportunities, continuing racial injustices and economic disparities. I am running to continue the fight to truly eliminate these disparities and improve the health of our families, the health of our community, and the health of our democracy. 

I ran for State Assembly and La Mesa City Council because we needed a leader who would serve the residents, advocate on their behalf, and bring transparency to City government. I was honored that the residents of the 79th Assembly District and La Mesa believed I would be that leader, and together we have worked to make San Diego better for all residents. I am ready to do this with all of the residents of the 39th Senate District.
